Parker Hale T4

[ArmedGinger]

So does anyone know anything about these rifles? They were Lee Enfield No4 Mk1 rifles that were rechambered to 7.62 Nato and had the same barrels as the 1200TX line.

I will admit that I have never heard of one before.

Really your typical heavy barrel No.4 in 7.62. Generally similar to the Enforcers. Better stocks etc than the L42A1 rifles. Pretty good shooters when set up well.

Yeah the stock has the Parker Hale M82 vibes.

So you’d say they shoot as well as the L39/L42’s?
Would the Parker Hale barrels be considered better, worse, or basically same-same quality wise/accuracy potential as the L39/L42 barrels ??

If I remember correctly Enfield made the hammer forged barrels for 39/42 7.62 conversions. Excellent shooters. Parker Hale barrels are also fabulous. I have used dozens either on actual PH rifles 81/82/84/85/87 or used to build Mauser based rifles. It's sort of an Red Delicious apple to Cosmic Crisp apple comparison, personal preference and availability. Really finding any factory heavy barrel No.4 in 7.62 in the US is a happy day and an enjoyable rifle. Most of the target versions are reasonably affordable, while the L39/42 rifles have gotten stupid. Example, I once bought an L42A1 in its transit chest with matching optics and all accessories for $1500. I think there is one on GB now for $15000 or more.

They should be very good shooters until approx 600 Yards. In tons, which proof has it ?

The Parker Hale 7.62mm hammer forged barrels are considered by our local NZNRA shooters, to be good out to 800 yards. Glass bedding of the receiver to fore-end interface—where allowed—has proven greatly beneficial, according to my friend Duncan MacKee, husband of government minister, the Honourable Nicole McKee, also a good friend of mine. N.B. Original No. 4 fore-ends will all be over seventy (70) years old by now. Cheers from NZl
